I had a string of "interesting" roommates. Of course this song is about a couple of them, cobbled together. You know who you are :)

I had written ¾ of this 15 years ago - and took a big step towards finishing it this week. Ahh, RPM Challenges!

I wrote the riff in college back a hundred years ago. When I bought Logic the other day, I decided this was worth a revisit. Again, RPM...

Originally written during the More Deranged Lunaticks sessions, this got cleaned up and recorded as a first-pass on the last day of RPM Challenge 2016. Expect a cleaner version soon. Howevs, the track does rock!

I wrote a really bitchy song about a recent ex-bandie who wanted to "have her cake and eat it too" but I decided not to waste a perfectly good track by crapping bad juju on it. It has a delicious solo in the middle, best heard with headphones on

So, Logic X Pro has great arpeggiators. I was thinking along the lines of It's Not The Night by the Cars (sorry, Greg Hawkes).

Looping madness made as an "ease of work comparison" between Garageband 6, Garageband 10, and Logic x pro. $200 later, I kinda like Garageband 6 best out of all of them.

G (co-writer) occasionally says "You Have To Write A Song Like X" where X is something he's heard but wants a different take. This started out as a homage to video game soundtracks by Insomniac. Very happy with it, although the MP3 version has…

Redone with a new arrangement, new (non-uvula-infected) vocals, and a whole host of tweaks... Now 20% more SPARKLY, and what I'd originally intended before my uvula was infected....

Also written circa 2000. Updated lots of stuff on this track besides the usual (re-doing vox, etc.), like GUIRO and VIBRASLAP and SHAKERS.

Song written and programmed in 2000, for the Love Songs and Other Freaks of Nature.... Y'know, some songs don't end up being true....

The signature RPM song for this year. Catchy, topical. Sung by a room full of peeps!

I completely changed the arrangement of this song. Again. Previous versions included a wall of acoustic guitar. Out goes the guitar, in comes the trumpet and drums...

When I first put this track together, it was for a celtic music band. I found out 1., celtic bands have a habit of imploding, and 2., the whistle tracks were frequently in the wrong key. So, I dusted this track off, dusted off an old Yamaha…

This one's by Amber Tatnall; we banged it out Friday the 28th as the last song on the RPM 2014 project. It's so lovely, it'll get a rework soon. But Not Today!
